It s in the middle of my stomach and around my belly button? I m not sure what s going on ? The pains come and go like every few minutes. Please help me. What could it be?

As you had previous history of surgeries , and as per your symptoms there is doubt of adhesions leading to small bowel obstruction .
Please visit emergency as you need urgent xray abdomen in standing position .
Also needed is ultrasound abdomen .
Go for lab tests as TLC DLC ESR and stool examination as it may be gut infection also .
